The reason for my bloggy neglect has been, part workload and part an inability to shake off the wintry hibernation laziness I've been feeling. The workload part was due to constructing my day job's new website which took two solid months of work and pretty much took over my work and home life for a while.

blue skies // finished website // beautiful blooms // homemade bread

Thankfully it's now all finished and looking rather fancy if I do say so myself, but the enthusiasm for getting back into my crafting (which I had been so eager to get back to while I was preoccupied) had totally left me, I felt like a puppet whose strings had been cut, I just could not seem to find the energy to get on with anything, except eating...I've done a ton of that!

cuddles!

So the last few weeks have involved me battling with myself to find where that blasted enthusiasm is hiding, and thankfully after much pestering, it's starting to creep back! Something that has helped has been Instagram, the fact that all you need is a little brain power and nice photo, is supremely appealing and using it has forced me to look for something to be cheerful about every day which is helping me in a small way to get back on track, and the longer evenings and occasional blue skies are certainly helping too!

Despite my lazy fog, I did actually finish my Knit for Victory Project though I didn't manage to photograph it properly by the deadline, I did at least get it done and I am rather in love with it, so I shall endeavour to get some good photos of it the moment a willing photographer and the nice weather align. I will be back very soon this time I promise!

So lovely to see you back blogging! Love your cat, just too cute! My Mr is certainly impressed with your handiwork on the website!! I look forward to seeing your Knit For Victory project!! xxP.S. Thank you for putting my patterns on your other blog :o)

Welcome back! Lovely pics and love your favourite tee and leopard lined coat, v nice! Good to hear I'm not the only one whose enthusiasm has been a bit thin on the ground this year! Hoping that the odd signs of Spring will rejuvenate my motivation. Looking forward to seeing your knit for victory in all its glory! Jo x

Welcome back! I love Instagram, it's so much easier than blogging & it's fab to look back on what you've done. Some beautiful photo's of your cat. Looking forward to seeing you Knit For Victory project :) x

Thank you Melanie! I'm glad that made sense, its a horrible feeling isn't it, I've had it loads over the years but I am determined not to let it get me as badly as it has before, hoping the warmer weather and fresh air will help! xx
